Post Upheaval (FUTURE'S EDGE)

By Mort Herman

IN 2290, HUMANITY IS AN ENDANGERED SPECIES. A worldwide upheaval lay barren the overwhelming majority of Earth's habitable landmasses. The pervasive technology of the modern age had fallen in one swift stroke, leaving two pockets of survivors - one in the frozen north and another along the equator. Above the Arctic Circle, Joseph, the lead hunter, resurrects old-style hunting methods, elevating the human-canine partnership to "Call of The Wild" levels of intimacy. For a time, this small settlement stabilizes until the animals they hunt disappear at an alarming rate. His counterpart, Ahnah, foresees a different future based on a joining with people living beyond a southern, impenetrable barrier. In the tropics, Admiral Gerald Greenhut's fleet of sailing vessels fuels a flourishing island economy. However, their society stagnates, turning inward, the drive to explore and dream gone. When invasion by Hostiles annihilate their defenseless civilization, the survivors escape the tropics. Invigorated by legends of lost ancestors living beyond their realm, these adventurous, seafaring people push north to find the roots of their humanity. Each population center possesses what the other needs. Both must adapt or perish.
